The Automated Attendant serves as a receptionist, answering and routing incoming
calls automatically. Callers hear an opening greeting for your company that gives
them instructions and options. If a caller does not know the extension number, the
Automatic Directory can route the call by the person’s name. When your extension
is busy or you are not available to answer the call, EliteMail FMS/VMS can connect
the caller to your voice mailbox automatically.
